Itβs a detail that none of us wants to think aboutβ¦what will happen to our children and dependents after we die.
I remember making a #will before my kids were born and addressing the details felt grim even then.
But what if you have children with #SpecialNeeds? It turns out you need specialist advice, a standard will wonβt help, it could make your childβs life far worse.
Worth reading.

"Lesbians have a strong history of supporting more marginalised parts of the community. We were there for gay men during the β80s and β90s when prejudice around AIDs and HIV was at a peak. So why would we not be there for the trans community, especially when they face a similar barrage of online hate, often founded on fiction rather than facts?"
Tracks. I've met gay guys with pretty awful opinions about trans people, but I've yet to meet a lesbian with similar opinions.
This year Lesbian Visibility Week is bringing together the UKβs largest queer and lesbian groups around the theme #UnitedNotUniformQueerAF
Selection bias (for the set of "people I've met") definitely applies here - so take this with a grain of salt. Equally I'm up for meeting new people ... just not necessarily ones whose world view boils down to "this group of people I hate should be dead".
edit: A friend just messaged me to say "yeah I've met a couple but they're really rare"
I've run across a paradox where I am trans and therefore cool but don't think I'm cool so therefore I'm not cool.

Somewhere between arriving and leaving, Bowie found the perfect moment to play a song. Not for a crowd, not for applause, just because the tune was ready, and the world felt quiet enough to hear it.

Some time last year, someone screen-shared a VSCode editing session with me, and I noticed it was highlighting brackets in source code in different colours according to their nesting level mod 3, so that it was easier to see which ones matched which.
That wasn't enough by a long way to make me switch editor from #emacs, but it seemed like a cool feature, and I occasionally thought about it wistfully.
Last week I mentioned it in passing to a friend, who said "Oh, in vim that feature is called 'rainbow brackets'". Then suddenly it was easy to find implementations for emacs too. I tried out https://github.com/Fanael/rainbow-delimiters the next day to see if I'd _really_ like it. After a few days, it's clear I'm going to keep it (after reconfiguring it so I can actually see the difference).
Knowing the right search term is everything!

As long as there is a way to make something make more money, some person that values money over all will force it to do that thing.
This is part of why I've started leaning so heavily away from things where the primary motivation for them is making money.

Also I recorded video of this two pieces, that were worked at the same time (to match colors and also to take advantage of the shades of paint that I was preparing)

The wizard finished the incantation, and the demon appeared in the sigil.
"Let us continue."
"Do you really not have any friends who could help," the demon asked
"I cannot show weakness."
"You'd show strength."
"Quiet!"
The demon sat, muttering "I can't wait for the invention of therapists."
It's a thing you have to force, for the first few times, and for me, it's because there's the chance for 100% efficiency in a build, but if you automate the stuff you need to do that, you have to tear it up to get to the end product, or you don't get full efficiency, have some parts that cycle on and off due to varying resource production and consumption further back in the process.
I'm getting to a point where I create a factory for one thing, then dump it into storage. If I need it in a future product, I'll set up a new line for it. Each product is going to have its own set of machines from resource to product.
Sometimes you need a nudge to get over the hump, though, and stop doing the thing you know works. Yes, automation loses a bit of efficiency, but it also frees you up to consider more plans.
I also find using a planning tool helps a lot, if you're trying to go for something that feels efficient.
